Under our featured people, we also feature Labs and stories from the ECF Labs.

ECF labs is our online community focusing on arts and culture, where you can share views, projects, news and create your own labs focusing on topics you care about. Join!

This week, we feature Occupolitics, a new Lab moderated by Charles Tims that collects and discusses new political parties and different forms of activism which seek to defend, reclaim and open up public space. New movements have emerged after the 2008 protests, tackling issues such as housing, democracy and decision making or the struggles for ‘the commons’ in cities. Learn more about these initiatives and take part in the conversation in Occupolitics.
